AF-GPS Module 73102

[rushmckelvey]

I have a 4500s with a 496 garmin for GPS location. I want to add another GPS AF-GPS module 73102. The GPS came with drawings that show wiring for the af-5000. Well I have wired it up per the drawings and can not get it to work. When I cut off my 496 garmin it states no map. I have it conf to port 4. Why will it not work? I have checked power and ground and all is good. What am I missing here?

Thanks

I still have not got the GPS module 73102 to work. I have set the right port up for the port that I have wired it to, And chosen the GPS module from the menu. It should be GPS 2 for the moving map source. but when I change to GPS 2 for the map source, the map page, says NO GPS. Is there any way of testing to see if I have a defective GPS module 73102. I have good known ground and 12v power to the unit. Looking for any help.

Thanks

1. Are you running the latest software that gives you the 73102 GPS as a serial port option?

2. Have you checked the serial port diagnostics loop back test menu to see if you are getting data from the GPS serial port?

3. Did you wire it to the OAT power source?

Call me from the plane and we can do some testing

Rob,

Thanks for the reply. I ran the diagnostics loop and no data was there. I checked my wiring and found the problem. She works great now and all is well.

Thanks for a great product !
